On RMC, Nelson Diassports director of Mérignac-Arlac, spoke about his relations with the Girondins de Bordeaux, also explaining that following the poor results of the FCGB in recent years, young Mérignacais had less and less scapular jerseys…
” Yes quite. We already see it in the football school, our children no longer have the Girondins jerseys… It’s a sign. 20 years ago, when I arrived in the region, when I was an educator at the football school, the children all had the Girondins de Bordeaux jersey. Today, there are none left at all, and it must be said that the club has also turned its back on amateur football, and in particular with massive recruitment in the Paris region, when we had very good players here. in Aquitaine. It created a bit of a distance between amateur football and professional football. However, we are proud to have the Girondins de Bordeaux in the city [..] Yes, we have contact with them, especially on the women’s section because they are in D1, and we are in D2. We have regular contact, but it is difficult to concretize things on contracts, or player loans… In fact, the Girondins regularly scrutinize young people with us. We invite them, but it’s not just the Girondins. We receive letters from Nîmes, Pau, Tours, from all over France, where people come to watch the players of amateur clubs. Today, the latest signings are not at the Girondins de Bordeaux, but at Nîmes… You have the Girondins de Bordeaux presenting themselves in front of the family, and Nîmes. The choice is towards Nîmes. It’s incredible “.
